The Khôm desert is a hostile place, crossed by hospitable nomads and camel caravans laden with magically powerful artefacts. The Novadis, desert warriors on noble steeds, rule in tribes over the lands of the Caliph, who unites them among themselves as one people in the belief in Rastullah, the one-god of the tent. On the peaks of the mountains of the desert kingdom dwell barbarians who worship blood and passion. In the fertile valleys of Thalusia, poor rice farmers and rebels wrestle with the tyranny of their rulers.

But since the starfall, the homeland has been changing. Caravans are disappearing, waterholes are silting up and dunes are shifting more than before. Even experienced caravan leaders can no longer find safe routes and courageous shepherds disappear along with their flocks. For very different reasons, the caliph’s two elder sons travel to the Khôm to find answers. But after the death of the third remaining son, the caliphate lacks an heir to the throne and heroes are called upon to retrieve the firstborn.
On their journey to the Khôm, they delve deeply into the 99 laws and culture of the Novadis and find clues to an unprecedented threat.
So it is up to them to confront an ancient horror brought to light by the Starfall. In a bitter struggle for survival, they set out on the mysterious trail of shadows from ancient times, become protectors of the desert, come face to face with the Queen of Tears and finally usher in a new age!
